>Yeah I keep hearing / reading about rust, even seen some demos but the demos all end with "oh no I'm not using this for anything". Still cool but ... want to see someone doing something in production / get their thoughts on that.

Huh? Besides Mozilla itself using it in the browser in several backends, there are tons of places where its used in production (and several articles on HN on the topic).

Where do you see all those demos who say "I'm not using this for anything"?

I've seen articles on Mozilla using Rust, Dropbox using Rust, MS using Rust (rustgrep used in VSC but also something in Azure IIRC), Google using Rust (Google Fuchsia), Facebook using Rust (Mononoke, etc), and so on.

MS security devision is also proposing a trio of C#, Rust and constrained C++ (meaning no Cisms) for their software going forward.
